AND INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is to provide public officials of the City of Billings, City of Laurel, Town of Broadview, and Yellowstone County with a plan for carrying out their responsibilities in case of a disaster that threatens the lives and property of city and county citizens and is beyond the capacity of the appropriate emergency service(s) to control. It provides an organizational framework and response capability from which the cities and county can respond to natural, technological, or war caused emergencies that require comprehensive and integrated responses thus meeting the emergency services legal mandates. A risk based assessment was conducted in 2004 and updated in 2010 to evaluate local risks to vulnerable populations and also examine the risk presented by natural and manmade hazards. This risk assessment, included in the “Multi- jurisdictional Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan”, includes a detailed description of each hazard that could affect Yellowstone County and its jurisdictions along with an analysis of the vulnerability of the hazard.

Governor, State of Montana B. Board of Commissioners, Yellowstone County C. Mayor, City of Billings D. Mayor, City of Laurel E. Mayor, Town of Broadview F. A surprise attack upon the U.S. or warning thereof. This plan is in coordination with and supportive of the Montana Emergency Coordination Plan and the Federal Response Framework. This Plan is to be used in conjunction with the Local Government Disaster Information Manual (LGDIM) developed by MTDES. Throughout this plan any further reference to Yellowstone County automatically includes the incorporated Cities of Billings and Laurel, and the Town of Broadview, unless otherwise specified. The goal of the YCDES, in coordination and cooperation with the LEPC, is to provide for disaster planning among all city, county, and private response agencies and provide for incident management response in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), which is a standard nationwide command and management structure and a unified approach to incident management. The Director, YCDES is responsible for the maintenance and updating of this EOP. Any comments, changes, additions, deletions, or corrections can be brought to the attention of YCDES. This Emergency Operations Plan supersedes any previous EOP for Yellowstone County.
